WATCH: Godawful propaganda rap song attempts to spit the truth about China to foreigners

China has just released what is sure to be the Party anthem of the summer.“This is China,” an English-language hip-hop song that just dropped on Tuesday, purports to tell foreigners the truth about China, correcting mistaken impressions provided by the nefarious Western media, via some sick verses like:First things first, we all know that China is developing countryit has large population and it is really hard to manageespecially after world war II, almost perishedI mean what I say is true, war is always scary.We can dig it. From there, the song goes on to discuss various high-profile Chinese scandals, such as food and drug safety, pollution and sleazy politicians, but implies that Western forces are trying to make these problems worse, not better.After dissing foreign media, the final verse goes on to what China is getting right: mobile payments, Tu Youyou and, of course, the lack of mass shootings.According to Sixth Tone, the music video, featuring typical China clips like pandas, hot pots and roads, was jointly released by Youth Micro-Studio, a new Communist Youth League media project, and CD REV, a nationalistic rap group from Chengdu.“This is a song for Westerners to understand China,” Wang Zixin, the band’s leader, told Sixth Tone. “We want Westerners to know that Chinese know our problems and we are trying to make a change.”Bring the ruckus:

In case you missed some of that, here are the lyrics to the first rap song ever to use the words “malversation” and “astemisinin”:Regardless of all the prejudices in the pasttoday I wanna restore the impression you have on my country, Chinawhich have been exactly fabricated by media for a long timeAs an individual citizen based in the south west of the countryI wanna spit it thenYou guys can know better about what the truth is andhow Chinese people access their own countryand how much we don’t wanna be disputantsFirst things first, we all know that China is developing countryit has large population and it is really hard to manageespecially after world war II, almost perishedI mean what I say is true, war is always scaryIt is real that the pollution is severe at the present stagein big cities like Beijing, TianjinAlways pollution, hazeSimilar to 1950s London and LAIt’s painful with higher growth rate you seePeople are too busy with businesseverybody wanna have a better lifeMake money, get marriedBut they are like the first or sec generation of richnot well-educatedBut now young men like us, aspiring and friendly[CHORUS]This is ChinaWe love the country, we the chi-phenomenaThe red dragon ain’t no evilBut a peaceful placeThe beautiful land with rich culture remainAt the second verseIt’s really painful to point out the problems as they are too much for us to even think about and mentionThe food and drug security eventMelamine Milk had affected so many babiesAnd they all suffered from malnutritionWhat’s more there was the Vaccination issueIllegal business operation has caused expiration and led toThe panic in domesticWhat’s wrong with the businessmenand it’s reasonless to do business riding on them babiesthe question is there were still somebody who wanted the situation to be worseAnd their name isYou know whoThey will get US dollar perksThe Spy, the trader, the liar and the monkey making jerksThey are leading the public into another extreme and it worked.Also it’s shameful to talk about some politiciansbecause of their corruption and malversation in bidding sectionsTheir sexual pics and the prostitution scandalsare all as a disgrace to the country and its peopleYou are prolly also confused about the situation in Taiwanas you don’t know the relationship between it and mainlandActually, for normal citizens, we just want us to be united as onecuz we think we are from one family, the same[CHORUS]Although the country does have these terrible things to deal withWe’ve made a progress and we are trying to prevent these happeningThe power of Chinese people in China are gradually provingthat we can make a better world as love, peace and harmonyThrough developing mobile paymentswe can now use apps to pay in nearly all the situationseven to make an appointment with the doctorsWe don’t have to wait in line and try so hard, cost so much to just pay to registerMeanwhile we can trust the public securitycuz the policemen are kind to the citizens but crucial to our enemiesWe have tight gun control laws and we don’t fear gun slaughteringcuz only cops and soldiers are able to touch itAs for scientific achievement we have Tu Youyou who discovered astemisininAlso there are KBBF crystal and Shenzhou series in astronomyWe are now leading the developing or poor and backward countriesIn technology, economy, science and other aspectsto make a better world just like the old, old historyYes, we do want the recoveryjust for a better living and and our great great China DreamYou see[CHORUS]It seems like Chinese propaganda officials are already admirably answering the call after an internal investigation concluded earlier this month that China’s propaganda sucks. “This is China” looks to be the country’s latest smash hit in its continuing effort to improve its image abroad, one awful rap song at a time.
